Thanks for the replies. I went with two lead acid flooded batteries from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Appreciate all the input I got from this site.

I really want to add a wire dipsy rod to my spread. I have the wire and a reel but can't find an 8-1/2 or 9' rod. Don't think I could handle anything larger when I fish solo. I hope the fishing improves and I can make it to Lake Ontario before you head back to Ohio. Looks like you might have some decent weather through early next week. Enjoy your vacation. -

Way to go Dan! Great photo. How deep did you have to go to find the fish? I'm still working on the i-Pilot installation. Got the motor mounted but running into battery location problems. Didn't want to wait for several weeks to get it installed by a marina. Hope to have it up and running soon. Congrats on your catch. -
Thanks for the reply. I was kind of thinking that way too. Any suggestions on brand of battery or whether to go sealed AGM gel or just regular wet cell batteries. There are so many brands out there. Thanks again.

What batteries would be best for a 24v. 80lb. thrust Minn Kota Terrova? Can't afford lithium. What are you guys using for the 12 volt batteries? Thanks.

Thanks Greg. I'd like 8 of the red and 8 of the black. How much for the 16? Is your email for PayPal still [email protected]? As soon as I get the amount I'll send payment. Thanks. Jim -

Making up some trolling flies and wondering if anyone has the recipe for the A-TOM-MIK Mooneye fly. It looks like standard cut black, possibly crinkle green, but not sure of the other colors. Thanks

I'm getting ready to tie up some tournament fly rigs and wondering what size hooks you use on your rigs. I have both 4/0 & 5/0 Gamakatsu octopus for the single hooks but still trying to decide on the trebles. Thinking about #1 or 1/0 VMC 9651 short shank or Owner ST-41. Also, do you think it matters what the color of the trailing treble hook is? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

I'm going to try a wire diver rod this year and have a couple questions. Can you repair broken strands on the 19 strand wire, or the seven strand, or is the line trashed once you get a break in it? On one of the above posts the info was that the 19 strand wire was softer and you could use a regular rod tip. I'd like to use my lead core rod rather than use a seven strand and modify a rod tip with a roller or twili tip. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
